From: "Arturo J. Morales" <art@aaRS.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 7 May 1995 19:26:32 -0400 -What kind of extra drivers do i need in order to run Warp on my 'pad? I remember using some utility disks for 2.1 but i have no idea about which ones to use for Warp...Is there a FAQ? (updated) The drivers that Warp has built-in, while not perfect, do work acceptably. The only other thing you would need is the ThinkPad features programs from the ThinkPad Utility diskette, e.g. the Fuel program, Power program, etc. -I need to be able to compile C code on my system, I did use gcc at one point with minor complaints (besides a 30+ meg swap file during compiling :) However, I also need to be able to port (flawlessly) my code to Unix (There are no graphics, so it should be fairly easy (i hope)) Has anyone used any other compilers? I had very bad experiences with older releases of Bordland C++ and would like your opinions... I've used both GCC/2 and IBM C Set++. GCC/2 works OK but lacks debugging support. I also understand that the project has been discontinued. IBM C Set++ works very well, but is expensive ($250). I understand that many people use EMX GCC, which is probably the best choice if you want the maximum unix compatibility. I haven't tried it. -One last point, due to the fact that I'm but a lowly grad student, I only have 8 megs of RAM and 170 HD. Is it better for OS/2 to get more HD or more RAM? I know the answer is both, but what if you were forced to decide? I'd suggest more RAM. RAM is the single most important factor for good performance in Warp.
